3 ST FRANCIS OF ASSISI Good Samaritan Ministry Former Parishioners of St Mary Church are familiar with the Good Samaritan Ministry. It is a ministry intended to help members of our own Parish and local community. We are pleased that this very successful ministry will continue here at St Francis. On the 3rd Sunday of each month, baskets will be placed at all Church entrances. Upon entering or leaving Church you are asked to contribute loose change, dollars, whatever your budget allows. When the Parish Staff becomes aware of an individual or family in financial need, they will use the donations to purchase gift cards, groceries, etc. to help one of our own. If you are aware of anyone in our local community who would benefit from this ministry, please call Diana Parady ( ). ALL calls will be kept confidential. First weekend will be January 20th & 21st.
